What's 16 million between friends?

Annie Leibovitz pawns copyright to life's work to pay debts.Are we serious?

"Leibovitz secured the loan partly against properties she owns in New York, but also by putting up the copyright, negatives and contract rights to every photograph she has ever taken or will take in future as collateral, according to the New York Times, which cited documents filed to the city."

*very* interesting. just goes to show you how out of it i am about popular culture.

i'm a quick defender of gay marriage, and its awful that she get caught in this situation. but gay, woman, or not, I couldn't imagine...[i'm looking at my negatives, i'm looking at my real estate properties, i'm looking at my negatives, i'm looking at my real estate properties...]...well, let's just say I hope her art only stays in hock long enough to sell off her properties.
